Vaclav - this is one of the most thorough, detailed and practical trip reports I have ever seen. Wow! I agree that guide books on Madagascar are of limited value, and you have managed to cover much of that gap for the parts of Mad that you visited.

Thanks for taking the time to write it up, and for sharing.

I think you'll get more Fodorites interested if you also include links to your photos...

Hi Kurt,

Thanks for reading my trip report and for not being lazy to drop me those few complimentary words. I am glad you have found my report helpful.

I am sorry but I cannot share any pictures. I stopped taking pictures long ago after going through my pictures after coming back from a trip and realizing I could not actually remember being at those places. With camera I give too much thinking to what pictures and how I should take and forget to look and take in.

I've only had a chance to look at your report quickly so far but thank you for providing so much information.

Your link above didn't work but was able to Google your homepage and read your report. I think Lonely Planet should hire you out! I am planning on going the second half of March, hopeuflly the rains won't be too bad.

Hi Don,

Thanks for your nice words. I guess Lonely Planet should hire just anybody who is willing really travel to the places she/he is writing about.

Sorry about the link. it seems to be working now so hopefully it was just some contemporary problem.

Happy travelling

I've started reading, and it looks like a great report. May I make a suggestion? More paragraph breaks with spacing, please. It's kind of hard to read such long, unbroken blocks of text. The first part in all Bold is difficult to read, as well.
